RV Generator Fuel System Cleaning in Hobe Sound, FL
Carburetor cleaning, fuel filter replacement, fuel line inspection, and stabilizer treatment for generators that sit between uses.
Fuel system problems are the second most common generator issue we see, after oil-related maintenance. In Florida, ethanol-blended fuel (E10) absorbs moisture from the humid air, leading to phase separation where water settles to the bottom of the fuel. This water-fuel mix clogs filters, fouls carburetors, and makes the generator run rough or not at all.

RV Generator Fuel System Cleaning FAQ
How much does fuel system cleaning cost?
$150-$300 depending on the level of contamination and whether the carburetor needs removal for thorough cleaning.
Should I use fuel stabilizer?
Yes, always in Florida. Ethanol fuel goes bad faster in high humidity. Add stabilizer every time you fill up, not just for storage. We recommend Sta-Bil or Star Tron.
How long can fuel sit before going bad?
In Florida's heat and humidity, untreated fuel can start to degrade in 30-60 days. Treated fuel stays good for 6-12 months.
What's phase separation?
When ethanol fuel absorbs too much water, the ethanol and water separate from the gasoline and settle to the bottom. This water-ethanol mix won't burn properly and damages fuel system components.
My generator ran fine last year but won't start now. Why?
Most likely stale fuel or a clogged carburetor from old fuel varnish. A fuel system cleaning usually resolves this.
Can you convert my generator to run on propane?
We don't do fuel conversions. For that, you'd need a generator specialist who handles dual-fuel conversions.
